          The purpose you mentioned is to oppress people. Does that seem desirable to you?

          My question was what you would do if it were up to you to decide what purpose the legal system should serve.

              All I hear in your answer is anger. I can understand that, and I share it to a certain extent, but I think you’d be doing yourself a favor by turning that anger into something positive.

              Being against something achieves much less than being committed to a goal. The fanatical Maga supporters show where a purely negative worldview leads. These idiots are even against things that spring from their misguided imagination, and they can’t even define what their hatred is directed against. That’s why their leaders have given them terms like “woke,” which are as empty and unfocused as these people’s hatred. The goal is to have them pulled behind their leader, who does nothing but enrich himself.

              That doesn’t seem desirable to me. Rather, it seems desirable to me to think for myself instead of repeating slogans.

              My point: You won’t be able to change anything if you don’t have ideas that point in a positive direction. That only leads to the same unproductive hatred that the Maga fanatics represent.

                  Spare me your imaginary lectures and also your assumptions. I am European and I know the basics of political science. Besides, I’m not the one downvoting you. You’re doing that all by yourself.

                  I have tried to be conciliatory and convey a positive message here, but I have to conclude that this is obviously futile.
